HENDERSON'S NEW BUSH LIMA BEAN 



family supplied with this splendid vegetable through the season, 

 that delicious quality that has made the Southern Lima so 

 famous. Every order should include this valuable new va-

We have a fine stock of the Genuine 

 Bush Lima Bean, direct from the in- 

 troducers, whose description we quote 

 and heartily endorse : " This wonder- 

 ful innovation created a greater furore 

 than any vegetable novelty that has ever 

 been offered. Those who never had a 

 vegetable garden before wete induced to 

 "ant the Henderson Bush Lima Bean, 

 because it enabled them to have the 

 most delicious of all vegetables without 

 the trouble and expense of the unsightly 

 poles. We received hundreds of most 

 fla'tering letters from every Stale telling 

 of its wonderful success. The specimen 

 shown in illustration was taken from a 

 prize plant sent in .last season, which 

 had 271 pods on it at one time. Hen- 

 derson's New Bush Lima grows without 

 the aid of stakes or poles in compact 

 bush form, about 18 inches high, and 

 produces enormous crops of delicious 

 Lima Beans, which can be as easily gathered as the com- 

 mon garden Bush sorts. Henderson's New Bush Lima 

 is at least two weeks earlier than any of the climbing 

 Limas. This fact alone would stamp it as the most valu- 

 able novelty of recent years, but when, in addition to this, 

 we consider that it is a true Bush Bean, requiring no sup- 

 ports, some idea of its great value can be realized." The 

 "ew Bush Lima produces a continuous crop from the 

 time it comes into bearing (it is fit for the table in the lati- 

 tude of New York middle of July) until frost, and being 

 enormously productive, a very small patch will keep a 

 The Beans are the size of the Sieva or Small Lima, and of

The Best Winter Celery, 



Everyone that grows Celery should plant at least some c' 

 of this valuable new variety. It shows remarkable im- ^ 

 provement and is undoubtedly the best Celery yet sent out, 

 for Winteruse. It is the largest of all, and of superb quality; , 

 the immense stalks are beautiful waxy golden in color, and < 

 are thick, solid, entirely stringless, of rich nutty flavor and 

 entirely free from any bitter taste. It can be used when 

 quite small, and does not become watery ; it requires but a 

 few days of slight earthing up for blanching beautifully. It 

 is the best keeper of all Celeries, and we think without 

 question it will supersede all other late varieties. Pkt., 

 15 cts.; 2 pkts., 25 cts.; y 2 oz., 30 cts.: oz., 50 cts.; ~% lb., 

 gi 50; lb., $5.00. 



NEW GOLDEN SELF- 

 BLANCHING CELERY. 



This is the parent of Giant Pascal Celery ; habit of 

 growth close and compact, straight, vigorous stalks. The 

 quality is unexcelled, the ribs being perfectly solid, crisp, 

 brittle and of delicious flavor. Without any banking up or 

 covering whatever, the outer ribs become a handsome, 

 fresh, creamy white color, while the large and solid heart 

 is beautiful rich golden-yellow color. The New Golden 

 Self blanching is undoubtedly the best Celery in cultivation 

 for use before Giant Pascal. Pkt., 10 cts.; l /z oz., 20 cts.; 

 oz., 35 cts.; V4 lb., $1.00 ; lb., $3.50. 



PLEASE NOTICE.— We strongly recommend 

 planting some of each Celery — Giant Pascal and Golden 

 Self -blanching. You will then constantly hai>e the best 

 Celery for nearly six morths. One packet of each for 

 20 cts. ; 1/2, oz. of each, y^ cts. ; one oz. of each, $i.2j. 



KALEIDOSCOPE PEPPER. 



This superb novelty o/iginally came from China, and 

 is now offered for the first time. We feel sure it will delight 

 our customers ; for unique beauty and domestic usefulness 

 it is unlike any variety now in cultivation. The plants are 

 sturdy, pyramidal in shape, 15 to 18 inches high and almost 

 every branch terminating in a plump cone-shaped pepper. 

 As the season advances the fruit begins to color up, ere 

 long the bushes are a show, the like of which you never 

 saw, seemingly a kaleidoscope of lovely bright color from glossy green to intense flaming crimson. As easily grown as 

 any other Pepper. Pkt , 15 cts. ; 2 pkts., 25 cts. Clubs — 5 pkts. for 50 cts.; 10 pkts., $t.oo ; 25 pkts., $2.25.
